Today I got promoted to IT manager position after my proposal got approved by the management to use multiple open source solutions and replace propriety products the company is using.

Tests went well and they were happy with the services. I will be handling the migration and training for the coming months.

To thank the wonderful open source community I will be donating a part of my pay for the coming 3 months.

Why AM/PM is a bad idea:

- It's more complicated.
- Is 12:00 PM in the morning or evening? I don't know.
- 12:00 PM followed by 12:01 AM, WTF?
- Which date does 12:00 PM belong to?

Benefits of 24-hour clock:

- Simple, hours run from 00 to 23.
- 12:00 is noon.
- 00:00 is midnight of the subsequent day
- 24:00 is the exact same time, but on the previous day

Thus, it's obvious what point in time I'm referring to when I say 7'th Oct 00:00.

Now, let's fix DST.

printf "%3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d %3d\n" $( echo {1..10}*{1..10}\; | bc ) # Print a multiplication table. Great for those 3rd grader CLI users but also a great demo. :)

It's #AceAwarenessWeek, which means that if you're the sort of person who thinks nobody could possibly not be interested in sex or romantic relationships, you should probably shut the fuck up and reconsider your mindset because you're objectively wrong.

Ehi state andando in manifestazione? Fate sapere che succede anche qui su mastodon, abbiamo aperto l'istanza per questo! Potete anche mandare foto, ma considerate di oscurare i volti e qualsiasi altro segno di riconoscimento (scarpe, loghi dei vestiti, tatuaggi etc), c'è un app che lo fa in un attimo e si chiama ObscuraCam. Usa invece Scrambled Exif per togliere i metadati

Some "lessons learned" from the whole #NordVPN disaster:

1. Revoke keys when you notice the private key was compromised
2. Use HSMs to prevent private keys from getting compromised
3. Inform your customers about breaches
4. Do proper audit logging of your systems' user accounts
5. Use your own OS images, when installing machines
6. Run an IDS to get informed when your production systems act unusual
7. Spend more money on infrastructure security, less on marketing it

“There are those days where I am a horrible person to be around. I turn into this cynical asshole, that I try to leave behind. I lost friends to depression and too often I loose myself. But there is always another way, another day to be around. Suicide is never painless. It breaks your loved ones and leaves only bitterness and pain. I battle these dark thoughts for half my life. I know it will never fully go away, but there are ways to deal with it. Life can be dark and senseless but more often it´s bright and beautiful. Be excellent to each other!”

BREAKING:
There's a ceasefire announced by US/turkey for 120 hours.

when reading that news, remember the interest of those announcing it.

"Trump will withdraw sanctions on Turkey after complete ceasefire in Syria operation, says Pence"
https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1184888622287339520

"Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Thursday his forces will counter Turkey's invasion by "all legitimate means", in his first remarks since deploying troops near the border to support Ankara's Kurdish rivals"
https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1184852819158818816

"The ceasefire seems very akin to the collapsed security mechanism agreement, as part of that now failed agreement the US convinced the Syrian Kurds/YPG to dismantle their defensive fortifications & pull their troops from the border to appease Turkey. Turkey invaded anyway"

Facebook ha bloccato le pagine di Crash, Labas e Tpo. Inoltre ha rimosso il l'evento di sabato per il Kurdistan. Boicottare quello strumento e' il minimo che possiamo fare.
